Description elman 2018-07-02 10:50:22 UTC
1. Start spotify
2. Play song
3. Move mouse over Media Player widget
4. Use mouse wheel up and down

When going up, Plasma shows that I set volume level to minimum, but actual audio level doesn't change
When going down, Plasma shows "Spotify Muted", but spotify continues to play.

Are you using Spotify desktop client or the spotify website in the browser?
Comment 2 elman 2018-12-04 22:27:17 UTC
I'm using flatpak com.spotify.Client/x86_64/stable
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-02-24 19:40:26 UTC
I can reproduce the issuer with a local music player; the scroll direction seems to be inverted such that scrolling up reduces the volume, and scrolling down increases it.
Comment 4 elman 2021-02-24 20:17:17 UTC
That is different bug than the one I'm describing.

I have made another test and behaviour is the same as described. I also tried the same thing with YouTube playing music in Firefox and volume changes as expected. So the issue is either with Spotify or maybe flatpaks in general.

Works here.

Please run the following in a terminal

dbus-send --print-reply=literal --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player string:Volume

that should print the current volume

 dbus-send --print-reply=literal --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player string:Volume  variant:double:0.9

where 0.9 is a value between 0 and 1 for the volume to set. If that's not working correctly we need to report to spotify

I just did a retest and everything works as expected. Mouse wheel sets volume of Spotify and scroll direction is correct as well. Thank you for fixing it.
